Significant startup speed increase by avoiding repeatedly checking if some
remote git-annex branch refs need to be merged when it is not newer.
One way this could happen is when there are 2 remotes that are themselves
connected. The git-annex branch on the first remote gets updated. Then the
second remote pulls from the first, and merges in its git-annex branch.
Then the local repo pulls from the second remote, and merges its git-annex
branch. At this point, a pull from the first remote will get a git-annex
branch that is not newer, but is not on the merged refs list.
In my big repo, git-annex startup time dropped from 4 seconds to 0.1 seconds.
There were 5 to 10 such remote refs out of 18 remotes.

I considered a more wide-ranging config option to make other commands
also show dead repositories. But it would be difficult to implement that
because Remote.keyLocations is used to get locations, filtering out dead
repos, and commands like get then try to use those locations. So a config
setting would make dead repos sometimes be acted on by commands.

I can't seem to get stack to resolve dependencies with Win32-2.13.4.0,
no matter what I try. Why it blows up, I don't know.
And allow-newer: true actually causes it to downgrade Win32 to the one
version that won't build. Unbelivable that allows downgrades.
So just gonna have to wait for that to get into stackage nightly, and
then stack.yaml can be updated to use that, and the changes in this
commit reverted.
For whatever reason, putting Win32-2.13.4.0 in stack.yaml results in
stack blowing up with many unrelated dependency problems.
But making git-annex depend on that version lets stack resolve deps.
Seems that while the module is not imported by anything on windows, it
still gets cpped, and MIN_VERSION_unix is not defined so it failed to
preprocess.
git-annex test hang when running git-annex add in an adjusted unlocked
branch. I couldn't seem to reproduce the hang outside the test suite.
Seems that the code added in 26a9ea12d1
was buggy, and as that commit was made without testing it, building with
unix-2.8 exposed the bug.
I don't fully understand the bug, which involves fdToHandle
and then closing the fd, vs closing the handle. May somehow involve
laziness or forcing around the S.hGet? Using hClose solved it
in any case.
(Also eliminated checkcontentfollowssymlinks to fix a build warning
when it's not used.)
This enables some new features that need the new aws.
Use http-client-restricted-0.1.0 because it uses the crypton side of the
cryptonite/crypton fork, which seems to be needed for ghc-9.6.2.
Dependency on connection removed because of the cryptonite/crypton fork.
This avoids needing a build flag. It was only used to throw a typed
exception in Utility.Url, which nothing depended on.
Used a fork of bloomfilter because it's not being maintained and no longer
builds as-of this ghc version. (I have been trying to contact its
maintainer about it, and emailed him today suggesting I take over the
package.)

It made UserInfo into a pattern to discourage manually constructing
them, so just to use UserInfo in a type signature of a function that
consumes them, have to import the new ByteString module.
Anything still relying on that, eg via cabal v1-install will need to
change to using make install-home. Which was added back in 2019 in
6491b62614 because cabal new-build
(now the default) already didn't use Setup in a way that let its
installation of those things work.
Notably this means Setup does not need to depend on unix-compat, which is
useful because in 0.7 it removed System.PosixCompat.User, which Setup
needed to determine where to install the desktop files. See
https://github.com/haskell-pkg-janitors/unix-compat/issues/3
